Tamra's Song

Angel of our lower sphere,
homespun hair like summer-
burned field-grass falling 
over your face as you bend 

to your guitar – do you 
sometimes slur the words?
What strangeness takes you, 
by moments, beyond yourself
 
away from earth where we 
wait here listening? Is God
listening along with us?
Sing before you go.
